From 1997 to 2016, the percent of suicides committed with guns dropped from 60% to 50%.
Yet those opposed to an armed population claim guns are a major cause of suicide.
During the same period, the per capita number of guns went up from .78 to 1.3, about a two thirds increase.
More guns, but a lower percentage of guns used in suicide.
“More guns, but a lower percentage of guns used in suicide.”
And still, the majority of gun related deaths are suicides.
Wonder why the gun-grabbers don’t focus on suicide prevention as an excuse to ban guns.
